3D Printing! Another reason to visit the Library

The Library is excited to announce a new service: 3D Printing will commence in Semester 2, 2017. The service, offering the latest technology to print accurate, detailed 3D models, will be available to all UC staff and students.

A 3D printer takes a digital file containing a model and melts plastic material into thick layers which build up to create the model as a three-dimensional physical object. 3D printing offers the opportunity to turn ideas into working prototypes relating to your assignment and/or research. Maximum dimensions of objects for the Library printers are: 235 mm x 255 mm x 195 mm.
